Get a paper route you youngin' you.

Get a paper route you youngin' you.

Do they even make newspapers anymore.

I saw that last night and spent an hour talking myself out of ordering one. Good deal though.

I wonder how well the SCX6 is selling. Does anyone else make a 1/6 crawler?

Exactly. I had a paper route with 105 newspapers to deliver when I was 9. And I always put the newspaper right by the door, or in the newspaper box

The three summer vacations from '85 to '88 I detassled corn. I think I made $600 my first summer for 6 weeks of work. I made more the other two. And that was in the '80's.

Kids these days

Redcat has a large scale crawler I think.

Rlaarlo makes a 1/7 crawler that has been getting a ton of press recently. Most of the comparisons have been comparing it directly to the SCX6.

Man, where was that SCX6, when I was doing all of my 1/6 figure modeling, or, most importantly, when I was a kid with my GI Joe Adventure Team. I still have my Mobile Command Center with the box, to this day. I would have given anything to have an RC rig that scale, I would have had a blast with that thing then.

Those lights, though, am I running an RC, or a portable discotheque?

I worked at the local golf course shag’n balls from the driving range as a kid. Most of the time it was like a game of dodge ball, until they bought one of those fancy machines with a cage on it. My buddy took one to the head, started crying and never came to help again.

When I was a kid, I grew up in Florida, we'd go down to the golf course to make a few bucks to buy fishing bait. We'd swim in the ponds to grab balls for the golfers. They always seemed a lot more concerned about the gator on the bank than we did, I swam with those things my entire life, until I moved away when I was 30, never had an issue, though a couple of my buddies have been bitten, Few stitches, good as new, with a cool story for picking up the ladies.

I had a route also, I even pushed a lawn mower or packed a rake in the fall around the neighborhood and made money. At that age I was rich, well at least I thought so.

I had a paper route in the 80's. Hated the Sunday papers with all the store advertisements and coupons. Luckily, I had a  stolen grocery cart to haul those heavy papers.

My brother had a route, had one of those baskets on his handlebars of his bicycle. It became a challenge for us all, to be the first one to be able to catwalk his bike with that basket attached. He eventually dropped his route, actually sold it to another kid, and the basket came off. First time I went to catwalk that bike after that, I flipped it right back, and slid on the pavement, roadrash for a week. Oh, those were the days, simple times, filled with nothing but fun.

Grew up in the country, but put a lot of those small square hay bales away... worked thru the night more than once when rain was threatening.

Used to go to school with a shotgun in the rear window rack of the truck, so we could hunt dove on the way home.

Lol. Look at the original post

Yeah, I sometimes forget Horizon and Tower are jointly owned these days... I'd call it a senior moment but then Tunedfrog would scoff at me... and I just couldn't take that!

 

[cbaker65]

We all had the same gun racks in the back windows of our single cab trucks, high school parking lot was full of pickups with loaded shotguns in the back windows, and all of the trucks were unlocked. Simpler times, people respected one another, and their property. There were no shootings, nobody would have even considered it, if for no other reason than the beating that would await us when we saw our parents. Like I said, simple times, simple people, just enjoying life and spending time with each other, a time when men were men, and their sons wanted to be just like them.

My parents, God bless them, are still with us, and so is my dad's brother. All in their mid-80s, and still very active. My uncle still lives on the property I mentioned earlier, and goes out almost daily to work in the barn, often making things out of wood from his property, like dinner tables, and rocking chairs. I have nothing but respect for them, and their generation, and all of the generations before them.

Probably not so he would be a mogul in his town.

I'll give ya a nickle if you organize my hobby room.
